“What?” Zephyr looked at her coldly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to show me your heart?”

Nelly was incoherent. “Zen, don’t you understand what I’m trying to say?”

“I’m sorry.” Zephyr chuckled. “My thought process is rather direct. I only understand what people say as it is. I thought you’d really want to show me your heart!”

Nelly smiled, “Are you joking with me?”
